From Juice to Syrup: Attend Maple Weekend events at Upstate New York Farms.

Sprinkle spring with sugar with hot pancake breakfasts as Maple Weekend celebrates the return of the sweetest season in the sugar shacks of upstate New York.

The two-weekend festival, organized and sponsored by the New York State Maple Growers Association, returns for its 27th annual event on March 18, 19, 25, 26 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm each day.

More than 180 farms are inviting the public to watch the states’ spring maple crop turn from sap to syrup. On some farms, you will even be allowed to participate in drilling and tapping on trees. Demos, tours, and product samples are offered free of charge at most sites, with the exception of museums.

Be sure to dress appropriately as the farm weather in spring can be cold and muddy.

Maple Weekend also means you can treat yourself to a fresh stack of maple syrup-coated soft pancakes right at the farm, made with select pancake breakfasts on site. The Maple Weekend website has a map and a listing of maple farms that offer pancake breakfasts.

Sugar producers will have various other products and treats on sale to please any maple devil, such as maple butter, maple candies and toffees, maple liqueur, maple cream, maple sugar, maple cotton candy, maple ice cream, hot maple donuts, maple mustard , and even pork with a maple tint.

In addition to maple sugaring, some farms are planning additional family activities such as petting zoos, wagon rides and more. Visit your local farm websites or social media pages for more information on what will be available for their specific Maple Weekend events.

You can see the full map and list of all participating maple sugar producers on the Maple Weekend website.
